im sorry i might just be letting out tons of frustration but "I AM DONE WATCHING CLIPPERS GAMES!" for this season... blake is awesome, gordon has become my favorite player (took fishers spot) but I am sick and tired of watching them fall apart... they are very much in EVERY game and to watch them fall apart day in and day out it's too stressful...
I became a clippers fan because of BDizzle and stayed a fan because of Gordon. After 3 LOSING seasons it's enough... I spent tons of $$$ on tickets "good tickets" section 112 row 15 and....

lol... coming from a noobie... pretty funny.. thank you for making me laugh...

*side note... i am not being a jerk... it really did make me laugh specially to see you only have 20+ posts... thank you i needed that today (having a really bad day)

come talk to me after 10-15 years. 3 years is not nearly enough for you to be proposing relocation for this team. besides, kings are worse whether they beat us or not. I mean they did beat the lakers this year at staples but that doesn't make them better than the lakers. most fans here can't sympathize with you since we've been fans a LOT longer than just 3 years. and Fisher was your favorite player before Gordon? as in Derek fisher? lol

It's very sad to watch this team lose... But something keeps me believing in them... Don't know why? But I do... That's why no matter what, we are still thee joke of all sports. And knowing "our luck" that wont ever change even with Gordon and Blake. And that's why those guys are going to leave here ASAP.

LOL 1 less bandwagon to worry about...

I may not have been a clipper fan for long but a BANDWAGON? I am not... a bandwagon is all those BLAKE GRIFFIN fans...
I started watching the clipps play because baron was one of my favorite players but fell in love with GORDONS style of play...
either way still no hard feelings... yall can keep posting... I like where this is going... everyone expressing some feelings... it's like basketball therapy... lol
***reminder*** this post is just a matter of me expressing my frustration. I am sure if you have been a fan for the last....

the number of posts doesn't indicate how "true" or "loyal" of a fan you are. I have been a clippers fan since I was a kid and usually just read the posts here to gain some perspective from other fans. congrats for getting me to post again

i dont want to bash on you either because i think we should all be welcoming to people but a true clippers fan should be used to this kind of frustration...

yes.. I know I know... understand that my favorite players come from players that remind me of me..... players that remind me of my style of play when I was playing ball... it's all personal preference... I normally do not pick SUPERSTARS (such as Blake) to be my favorite players because 90% of fans like them too... I like to pick under dogs/ players that fall under the radar (with a few exceptions of course)

I really do hope the clips do something good this coming summer though.

[quote="clipperAndrew]You have only been a clipper fan for 3 years and you are giving up already? Most guys on here have been a fan for 10 plus years...you cant give up that fast or you will never be a real clipper fan lol

No im not giving up completely... I just won't be spending my hard earned $$$ on tickets anymore this year... I may not watch as many games either... I don't consider myself a "TRUE/LOYAL" fan just an average fan. My middle name is not CLIPPER nor Darrell... lol... I am a huge fan of b-ball and clippers are my favorite team for now... I was a lakers fan for 10+ years but I got over it... if I move tomorrow and go to OK City I will support my team (yeah I know, I am one of those guys) lol, you can call me bandwagon in that sense but I just love the game and love what the clippers started to do but now............. weeeeeeeeeeeeeell team to relax and wait for the playoffs and the summer...

Well, after being a Clipper watcher for over 2 decades (first game was 1989) and a diehard fan for 12 years...you would think i am done,,,but in reality I find the direction of this team more exciting then it has been in a while.

After a long time one almost becomes numb to the losing,,it's like you know they only play 3 quarters anyhow. For the last 3-4 years I got to the point where I could care less that they lost,,I would just hope they didn't embarass themsleves while doing it. So when they would occasionally win it was like I won the lottery. I still came home from games hoarse from yelling,,still had fun,,but the endings were always the same.

But this year feels finally diffferent. I actually find myself looking forward to going to Staples and with the home record I feel every night we have a chance to win,,I was even sure we were going to stand up to Boston. But to prove to myself the passion has returned,,I found myself yelling at the TV and screaming at these guys last night,,haven't been pissed off about a loss like last night in years.

Blake and EJ have something our team hasn't had in a few years. I think we maybe one or two more pieces this team is playoff bound next year and if not for sure the year after. I was one of the guys (probalby because I am old) that wanted to win now and didn't want to see the youth movement or hear that crap about maybe next year,,,,but now that we have a true youth movement I have been reenergised and feelit in my bones. They need to get it togehter with this mental block about winning on the road,,when that gets settled this team will RISE.

I will never give up.

i dont blame you for not wanting to spend money on them anymore (btw ebay is great for deals when they're losing). i opted to buy galaxy season seats instead of 2011 clipper seats due to my frustration and possible lockout looming.

ive grown up being a clipper fan... since i was like 12 or so. saying you started being a fan when baron got here (supposedly the guy to save the franchise) and now talking about being done as a clipper fan as son as baron is gone, only 2 1/2 years later, seems kinda like some bandwagon ness. Glad you like Gordon now tho.

But to want to trade it in for the Kings? are you kidding me??? the kings? cousins and evans over blake and EJ? just because theyre purple? you do realze they have had an even more pathetic season than us and you would be even more disfranchised than you are now if you were a kings fan right?

if anything being a clipper fan right now is easier than ever. we have two of the most electrifying players in the game with promising rookies and our FO finally has a REAL game plan in place for the future. call this darkest before the dawn maybe, or maybe im just an overly optimistic dreamer, but this is one of my favorite times to be a clipper fan. even if we have our problems and lose some games that we should be winning. dont stress these games more than just a game...we arent going any wehre this year.

but yea, feel free to quit watching if its going to make you cry..ClipperNation!!

About the poll... that was just something fun to post with the whole Kings relocating etc....

again this post was not to offend anyone or for people to bash me for only being a fan for less then a handful of years... it was just me expressing my frustration...

I am starting to see how DIE HARD some of you clippers fans are... that's awesome to see...

that's incorrect... i didn't say I was done being a fan of the clippers because BD is gone... I said I was done watching/spending my $$$ on games because of their losing season... Please do not put words in my mouth...

I did say I became a fan because baron was on the team... But baron showed nothing special really fast.... it was gordon who kept me interested in following the team...

you shouldndt be offended. when you became a clipper fan you HAD to know the history, you had to know it wasnt going to be the lakers. if it turns out to be too painful to watch so be it.. not everyone is cut out for it. some people need their team to win every night to be happy, not saying i wouldnt like more wins. you obviously like the lakers too so just consider the clippers to be a side project...something you hope gets done soon but you still have other stuff going on. dont quit unless it is really too much for you too bear.

mls is actually expanding. this year portland and vancouver join the league and there is already talks of a 2nd new york team being added.

i went to my first game back in 2008. they hosted a sports career fair and i was interested in working for the clips (funny i know...im that diehard) so i went. the addmission included tix to the galaxy game right after and i was immediately hooked. i knew nothing of soccer sports too. the fans are amazing and very intense. i would definitely suggest you check it out. seats start at $20 and pretty much anywhere is a good location unlike for basketball.

thank you..... (saying it proudly just not happy) IM NOT QUITING... lol.. i just dont want to watch another game live this year...

on the lakers note... I have only watched 2 games live and 4 on TV this year... I am over the lakers.... dont get me wrong I still want them to win and all but when the Lakers play the Clippers I host a party at my house with 20+ friends and I am the only clipper fan and I wear all my clipper gear proudly... even though I grew up a laker fan, I am 98% over them.. over their style of play and WAY OVER kobe (he kinda annoys me now) even though he is bad a**. Fisher is still one of my favorite players.

(GORDON IS MY FAVORITE PLAYER.. meet him and Bledsoe over the all-star weekend... it was awesome)

I hope the clippers do make something happen during the summer...

My first game was on my 18th bday in the Sports Arena against the Bucks (a loss). I had season tickets from when they moved to Staples to the day I had to move to Seattle for work. I then went to see them twice a year until the NBA took away the Sonics. Now, I am relegated to random TNT broadcasts. It has been YEARS since I have seen a win in person, and I have not seen a televised win in almost a year, and I am STILL a fan. Feel free to take up the Kings' torch; see where that gets ya. I'm sure you will be sporting a Bulls jersey or a Thunder jersey any day now.

Folks, with the Lakers hitting the skids lately, expect many more bandwagoners jumping on this ship and trying to bail at the first sign of a bad streak. I would imagine that this is the first of many similar posts. We better get used to it...

oh well... too bad some of you can not help a fellow frustrated poster in need.... I was looking for someone to help get my spirits up since the clips are not doing well and I am having a bad day. (a handful have helped) but most just seem to think I am 100% bandwagon and i should leave... too bad this posting went south...

**MODERATORS please remove this post. I did not think this was going to upset/offend so many. My bad, sorry! I needed to get my frustration out and this did not help one bit...

First off, that first statement very much solidifies you being a bandwagon fan.

2nd, as you got to express your opinion, why should someone not be able to express frustration that you caused?
